What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.Also try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything.

2200sqft. I'm going after a camera across the yard. Router is in the front. Satellite is in the back, and the cam is across the backyard. I clear the 30 ft.
I turned the 2.4ghz radio down to 50% as you suggested. After giving it a minute to figure it out the satellite did take it over! So that is a success. I will have to monitor if the 50% strength of the satelitte is better than 100% from the router. The cam transfer speed isn't impressive, however it hasn't dropped since this change so definitely an improvement. Thank you!
It's up to wifi devices to pick and choose which signal source they connect too. Glad adjusting the power on the RBR seems to have helped.
Mark your thread as solved so others will know.
